One of the lowest-mintage Pandas offered each year is also one that few collectors even know exists. What’s more, about the only way most people get the chance to even see one is to attend the annual Macau Numismatics Society (MNS) Expo held in southern China. It’s there – amid the skyscrapers, casinos and ostentatious displays of wealth – that this panda can be found. That’s why we’re so excited to announce that we’ve been able to source a small supply of these scarce treasures, and we’re making them available while supplies last!

Struck at China’s Shenzhen Guobao Mint in two ounces of highly-pure 99.9% silver, the 2018 China Macau Numismatic Society Expo Show Silver Panda is a must-have for any serious collector looking to assemble a complete Panda Series set. In addition, your special MNS Expo Silver Panda has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Ultra Cameo (PF69UC) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will showcase an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections – well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series. In addition, NGC has graded your Silver Macau Numismatic Society Expo Show Panda to be a First Day of Issue (FDI) proof – independent authentication that your coin was released by the mint during the premier day of the series' issue.

Founded in 1988, the Macau Numismatics Society operates much like the American Numismatic Association (ANA). Just like the ANA, the MNS puts on an annual convention, hosts educational forums, and regularly publishes new research on coins and paper money. It’s based in Macau, a Special Administrative Region of China, and encompasses the surrounding areas. Macau is an autonomous region on China’s southern coast located across the Pearl River Delta from Hong Kong. Its giant casinos and malls have earned it the nickname the “Las Vegas of Asia.” Not only is Macau recognized as the gambling capitol of the world, it is one of the world’s richest and most densely populated regions, boasting a per-capita purchasing power that is higher than that of any country in the world!

At 40 mm in diameter, this large silver proof features spectacular designs that are highly representative of Macau and its fast-paced culture. The obverse depicts a pair of adorable pandas scampering among rocks and vegetation. Next to the pandas is the inscription: “Bay Area Macau Special Numismatic Exhibition” in both English and Chinese. The proof’s reverse is an exciting new design of Macau’s new light rail – the first rail system in Macau. When completed at the end of 2018, the new rail line will connect old Macau Island with the new Cotai Island where all the new casinos are based.

Just 1,000 of these impressive silver proofs were struck – a miniscule number compared to the millions of other silver pandas struck by the China Mint. For Example, China struck 10 million 30-gram silver Pandas in 2018, meaning that this special Macau Numismatic Society Expo Show Panda is 10,000 times scarcer! Already, two-ounce silver pandas from last year’s 2017 MNS Expo have sold for between $5,000 and $24,000 apiece!

UNIQUE ADDITION TO CHINA’S POPULAR PANDA SERIES – The 2018 China Macau Numismatic Society Expo Show Panda Two-Ounce Silver Proof features spectacular designs that are highly representative of Macau and its fast-paced culture. The obverse depicts a pair of adorable pandas scampering among rocks and vegetation. The reverse shows a new design of Macau’s new light rail system.
